Jaws: The Revenge
After another deadly shark attack, Ellen Brody decides she has had enough of New England's Amity Island and moves to the Caribbean to join her son, Michael, and his family. But a great white shark has followed her there, hungry for more lives.
Critics Sentiment
Opening credits sequence with Michael Small's pulse pounding score
Ellen rams broken bowsprit into shark causing explosion death
The film drops from its highest point during the opening credits to one of its lowest during the family funeral aftermath, falling 2 points as the ridiculous premise takes hold.
The film opens with some promise thanks to Michael Small's effective score but quickly descends into universally ridiculed territory. While a few isolated moments like Sean's opening death and the banana boat attack generate brief tension, the absurd revenge-seeking shark premise and terrible special effects drag the experience down consistently. The finale represents rock bottom for the franchise, with critics calling the ending predictable, rushed, and audience-insulting.
